Exactly what it promises — a dedicated gin bar on Parkhurst's leafy 4th Avenue strip with one of the most extensive gin selections in the city, including many South African craft gins. The staff are knowledgeable and will guide you through tonic pairings and garnish choices without being snobbish about it. The outdoor seating on the pavement is quintessential Parkhurst, though it fills up quickly on warm evenings.
